Welcome Party
8:30 pm - 10:00 pm
225 Reformation Pkwy, #500, Canton, GA 30114
Casual Attire: Anything goes, from sundresses and sandals to jeans and tees.
Please join us for a welcome soiree on the eve of the wedding! This will be a very casual get together at Reformation Brewery in Canton. It will be a chance for all of us to come together, kick back, relax, mingle, play games, and enjoy each other's company before the festivities officially kick off on Saturday. The wedding party will be arriving around 8:30 pm, but the brewery will be open much earlier, so please arrive earlier if you wish. The brewery is located in a re-use development called The Mill on Etowah, which contains a few cute shops and restaurants if you would like to shop, explore, or grab a bite to eat before hitting the brewery.

Big Canoe - Cabin Rentals
This is a private residential community that is very near and dear to Samantha's heart. Her extended family has frequented Big Canoe since she was a small child, and she has made many wonderful, formative memories here. Since Daniel has (unofficially) become a part of the Warneke family, he has made several memorable trips to Big Canoe, and it now holds genuine significance for him, too. We can't wait to share this wonderful place with you! Within the community is a championship golf course, a beautiful lake (perfect for paddle boarding, kayaking, swimming and canoeing), and a trail network boasting miles and miles of beautiful, North Georgia mountain hikes. Last but not least is Sam's personal favorite feature: a resurfaced natural rock water slide that is open through Labor Day. These amenities are only available to guests who are actively renting a cabin within the gates of Big Canoe, but if you have the opportunity and means to do so, we highly recommend staying here.

FAQs
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
Please RSVP on the Zola website by Sunday, July 23, 2023.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
Although we adore all of our loved ones' little ones (and would love to see them all tearing it up on the dance floor together), we have chosen to make our big day an adults-only event.
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
The ceremony begins promptly at 5 o'clock pm, so we ask that everyone arrive on site at the venue by 4:45 pm at the latest.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Semi-Formal: Tuxes and gowns are welcome, and so are suits and cocktail dresses.
Question
Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?
Answer
Yes. There will be a shuttle running between the hotels and the venue to assist out-of-town guests on the day of the wedding. The shuttles will be transporting guests to the venue before the ceremony begins, and back to the hotels after the reception has ended. There will be a pickup spot between each of the two groups of hotels. Pickup #1: Between the Fairfield Inn & the Holiday Inn Express Pickup #2: Between the Country Inn & the Comfort Inn The shuttles will depart from both pickup points on Saturday at 4:00 pm, so please arrive to the pickup locations no later than 3:45 pm. All guests utilizing the shuttle services will arrive at the venue by 4:40 p.m.
Question
Do I need to rent a car?
Answer
The area where we are getting married is a bit more rural, so hiring Ubers and Lyfts around the hotels and the venue may be more time intensive and expensive. It should be easy to find a Lyft, Uber, or taxi service for transportation from Atlanta to Canton/Ball Ground, but if you plan to explore the many beautiful areas north of Atlanta, a rental car would likely be very helpful and much more convenient.
Question
Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?
Answer
There is a parking lot on site at the venue, conveniently located to both the ceremony and the reception areas. The area between the parking lot, the ceremony area, and the reception area is paved, and our venue will be happy to provide accommodations for those who may benefit from assistance with mobility. Please reach out to Sam or Daniel if these accommodations may be helpful to you, and we will be happy to coordinate a plan with our venue.
Question
Will the wedding be outdoors or indoors?
Answer
The ceremony will be outdoors in an open-air, covered structure. The cocktail hour will be outside, with a shaded veranda available if you'd rather stay out of the sun. The reception and dancing will be indoors.
